Nature photographer to share her safari experience in program at Pleasanton Library tonight

Dianne Mao' photographs include those of migration across plains, Masai Riverwild

Nature photographer Dianne Mao will speak at the Pleasanton Library at 7 p.m. tonight about her summer 2014 trip to Kenya where she captured images from one of Africa's best-known safari destinations.

She witnessed the great migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra thundering across the plains and Masai River, as well as graceful giraffes, elephants traversing the savanna and cheetah stalking wildebeest.

Mao will share her experiences and techniques while showing her photographs and the stories behind them. The program is free and open to all. No registration is required.
